I still hold that as the scariest moment in any film. The whole Gemini Killer thing was just plain evil.

A random Gemini quote, thanks to imdb:

I like plays. The good ones... Shakespeare... I like Titus Andronicus the best; it's sweet. Incidentally, did you know that you are talking to an artist? I sometimes do special things to my victims: things that are creative. Of course, it takes knowledge, pride in your work... For example, a decapitated head can continue to see for approximately twenty seconds. So when I have one that's gawking, I always hold it up so that it can see its body. It's a little extra I throw in for no added charge. I must admit it makes me chuckle every time. Life is fun. It's a wonderfull life, in fact... for some.

One more tidbit on Exorcist 3 thanks to imdb's trivia section:

"Favorite film of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer."

Time to go watch funny puppy videos on youtube.

Oh, eeew. Knowing what he did to his victims...or their heads, rather...could they still...? Nah. No. I won't allow it.

liam76:SlagginOff: Pennywise is a great choice; I had plenty of nightmares about that farker when I was a kid

The book got to me, not the movie.

the movie got to me until i read the book, at which point i could still appreciate how much fun tim curry was having with the part and how well he would have done in a more serious version of the movie, but overall the movie made pennywise more of an oft-silly annoyance than the brutal murdering monster he was meant to be. but then again, the movie sucked the edge out of all of the movie for the most part.

to wit, the rock fight in the book was a big ordeal. in the movie it was one kid got hit by a rock and then they all ran away crying.

This (new window) Scene in Gargoyles used to creep me out when I was a kid watching the Halloween marathons on TBS in the late 80s/early 90s. Not so much now but when you're a kid the idea of waking up with clawed hands at the foot of your bed is pretty scary.

I always thought Michael Myers in the original first Halloween movie was terrifying.

Relentless, never hurries, can take multiple gunshots, can vanish in the blink of an eye. Jason Voorhees is just Michael Myers with a hockey mask and a machete.

It's because of all the cardio they do.

Leslie: "You have no idea how much cardio I have to do. It's ridiculous."Taylor: "Why so much?"Leslie: "Well, you gotta be able to run like a freaking gazelle without getting winded. Plus, there's that whole thing of making it look like you're walking when everybody else is running their asses off! And I gotta stay with 'em! It's tough, man."

titwrench:Has anyone seen High Tension. It's a French horror/thriller that keeps you on your toes. The only bad part is once you know the ending the movie loses its edge you can't enjoy it the same way again.

Plus once you know the ending, the bit with the truck in the very beginning makes no sense.

1. the Great White shark from Jaws2. the giant Brazilian death tarantula from Arachnophobia3. Every single spider in Kingdom of the Spiders4. The alien parasite from The Thing5. Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise6. Jame Gumb (Buffalo Bill) from Silence of the Lambs7. the stepmother from Cinderella*8. the Zuni fetish doll from Trilogy of Terror

*obviously not horror per se, but she's a conniving, evil person. James Remar's psychopath in 48 Hrs also frightened me.

1. Creepy twin girls from the original "The Shining"2. Regan from The Exorcist. I hate the shot of her with the backwards head and the grin...3. The kid scratching on the window in Salem's Lot. Took me til I was like 35 to sleep with a window open at night.4. Dark Night of the Scarecrow5. Man/Bear/Pig thing from The Shining.6. Samara from The Ring7. A movie called The Changeling from the early 80's I think. Scared the bejebus out of me8. I wasn't scared of Jaws til my brother videotaped a shark attack while on a NOAA ship. Off the coast of Chile-you have all seen it on Sharkweek9. Pennywise10. Basically Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy, Otis Toole, Dahmer and the rest of those freaks because they really happened
